Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I could hear the highway callin'
Long before the road ran through
Dreams are free and not much else is
What else can a poor boy do?
[Verse 2]
Calais, France, the Cliffs of Dover
Name a city, I been there
Women laughin', babies cryin'
Sounds the same most anywhere
[Verse 3]
Baptized in the old South River
Three times forward I been blessed
Just another young hillbilly
Who would have thought, who could have guessed?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Gordon Lightfoot, A.P. Carter
Mother Maybelle, June and John
It ain't braggin' if you've done it
Name the tune, I sang the song
[Verse 5]
And now I'm old, no way to hide it
Wouldn't care to truth be told
Once a man and twice a child
Well, I've got a hand to hold
[Instrumental]
[Verse 6]
I could hear the highway callin'
Long before the road ran through
Dreams are free and not much else is
What else can a poor boy do?
Dreams are free and not much else is
What else can a poor boy do?
[Outro]
